Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Never been bitten by one, though have bitten one. Yes do tell, what you mean. Alcohol may have been involved. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Actually, it was at a barbecue party. Some workers had caught a mamushi earlier, which they decided to toss on the grill. They killed and sliced it up quickly, and offered me the still-beating heart to eat, probably because I was standing nearby and looked gullible. Still, not one to pass up such an opportunity, I accepted. Could feel it still beating on my tongue and down my throat. The rest of the snake was grilled up and everyone got a few bites. Not bad, actually. Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Did you chew it Metabo Oyaji? And...... did it taste like chicken? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Did you chew it Metabo Oyaji? I chewed the body meat. The heart was way too small to chew, being only about the size of one of those little Frisk breath mints. (Picture a throbbing, beating breath mint.) And...... did it taste like chicken? No, tasted like...snake. Actually, not really much flavor. Though texture was maybe somewhere between chicken and shrimp. Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Nice flowers! My garden is looking a bit shabby through neglect. Day off Tuesday to tackle it and get ready for the winter veggies. Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 What are the winter veggies BM? Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Weeds do seem to be slowing down a bit. Still appearing just not quite as crazy fast. Or maybe I'm imagining it. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Winter veggies include broad beans, green peas, broccoli, cauliflower, beats, etc. I need to go through my seeds to see what I've got! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Are they all different colours? Sounds great that. Easy to grow or do you need some kind of greenfinger skills? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 It takes a bit of a green thumb actually. I grew up gardening though so it's all kind of second nature. I find the winter gardening much easier because things happen so slowly that I can neglect it a little more. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 You can grow stuff in winter? By the end of october here things are starting to get frozen, by end of November everything is frozen solid. I sowed my last seeds back in mid - late August, things like brocolli, cauliflower, daikon, hakusai, etc to finish harvesting by around mid november. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yeah, we only ever get light frosts at worst. No freezing here. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Got to wonder if snowdude has his understanding of words tuned in correctly here with the word "freezing". What, with his ongoing confusion and misunderstanding of things like weather/climate and iphone/smartphones. You sure you fully understand what "freezing" means? Might be a good idea to confirm, snowdude. Link to post Share on other sites
